Human Sciences presents: Utopias

Our final class for the Utopias series will dig into readings of utopia by feminist and queer scholars. We'll pair Lee Edelman's call for a queer turning away from futurity ("fuck the waif from Les Miz") with Lisa Duggan's conversation with José Esteban Muñoz — a theorist who continually called for queer futurity — about the uses of hope and hopelessness. Muñoz died suddenly in 2013.
